Venice is a minor nation in Empire: Total War.
Overview
By the events of Empire: Total War, the Republic of Venice (formally known as The Most Serene Republic of Venice) had lasted for over a thousand years. Wealthy merchants and skilled fighters, Venice had been engaged with regular conflicts with the Ottomans throughout the last two hundred years. The most recent conflict with the Ottomans, The Morean War (1684-1699) has left Venice in control of Morea, although the Republic has seen better days and is in its waning years. As the game begins in 1700, these territories are reflected on the world map.
Venice is interesting in that it is one of only two nations to begin the game as a republic (the other being the United Provinces). It is therefore unfriendly to hostile with almost every other nation. In reality Venice was only a republic in the vaguest sense of the term.
Historically, the Ottomans regained Morea in 1718 after a war with the Austrians and Venetians. Once a power to be reckoned with, Venice was no longer able to pose a serious threat to anyone. In 1797, Venice surrendered unconditionally to Napoleon Bonaparte's armies and ceased to function as an independent state. It was later annexed in 1866 by Italy, which it has remained part of to the modern day.
